to prick the wedding" finger, and with the

is believed to be an unfailing charm.
To see her future husband in a dream, a
maiden, on taking off her boots must place

then say:
II set my boots in the shape of at,
Hoping my true love for to see;
The shape of his body, the color OF his hair,

held in the month of May were decidedly I'M
satisfactory, which may, however, be in part
ascribed to special circumstances, and there
fore will probably not be repeated in the
coming year.
The two Roman Catholic schools, namely
St. Patrick's school in F~rederiksted and the
school at Orange Grove, have, on account of
the sickness of the manager and other circum-
stances, been for the greater part of the year
IN an unhealthy condition, which has shewn
itself, partly in the very irregular attendance,
partly IN the poor results of the instruction
and partly in a thorough want of order in all
matters. Towards the close of the year there
has been a change for the better in the last
named respect, and, if the present manager
should succeed in finding sufficiently able
teachers, there is every reason to expect that
these schools in future will in all respects
wear quite different aspect from what they
have presented during the past year.
Tn schools numbered 7, 8, and IS in the
above table have been authorised to give in
struction to little children only.

the previous year, Mrs. Lorentz's and Mr..

, 1887-03-12

His successor, teacher P. E. Paul, from Do
minica, did not arrive, however, until after
the close of the year, and the instruction in
the school from the 1st of October the period
at which teacher Browne was exempted from
duty to the Christmas vacation was given by
the assistant teacher at the Diamond school,
G. G. Nicholas.
With regard to the number of pupils and
the attendance, the condition of the schools
has been about the same as in the year 1855.
Only In Christiansted Free School there has
been, as shown in the foregoing table, a rather
considerable decrease, which is mainly owing
to the fact that after the public examination
a large number Of children over the school age
left the school without there having been q
corresponding increase by the admission OF
new pupils, as no inconsiderable number OF
the younger children receive instruction IN
small private schools. The attendance on
the whole has been good in all the schools,
and the Board would be tempted to restrict
the use of compulsory means IN this regard,
if the irregular attendance at those private
schools which are attended by the same class
of children as the public schools did not con-
s5antly shew the necessity for them. In all,
in the course of the year, 2,551 fines have
been imposed, Of which ,345 have been re-
mitted, 1,011 have been paid amounting to
9147. SOY and 1876 have been expiated by inn
prisonment. Of the last named, no less than
154 belong to Frederiksted's country district,
and to no small extent were occasioned by
the before mentioned agitation against the
school at Rose HILL.
The progress OF the pupils in the school
subjects AMI the result OF the working Of the
schools in generalhave, Ofcourse, been different
for the different schools. Oh tibet otown schools,
the Free School in Christiansted stands trst;t the
progress of the pupilsfrom the lowerto the high
er grades in Frederiksted Free School is slow
er, without the slowness being compensated
by greater sureness IN requirement. The
result OF the instruction in Danish has not
been considerable in either Of the two schools.
In several Of the country schools the Board
has had the satisfaction to see decided pro-
gress, sometimes in one branch, sometimes
in another, sometimes in regard especially to
the smaller, at others in regard to the bigger
children; but the average standpoint OF the
pupils may on the whole, be said to be high
or than at the close of the previous year. The
progress made is not rapid, but if it will only
continue steady we may be content.
The annual examinations were held, in the
town schools on the 2lst May Frederiksted)
and the oath & 10Th May (Christiansted) in
the country schools in the period from the
18th to the 3Ist August. Examinations were
also held in the Country Schools in March
and August, for the purpose Of fixing the
monthly premiums to be paid to the teachers,
an in the town schools in November and
December iog the half year then drawing to
a close.
II. The Pirate Schools.
IN 1.B -. d. A. II .:.-.
, 1887-03-12

The number Of the public schools has been
increased in the course Of the year by the re-
openinq of the school ct Rose Hill, which had
been closed in June 1888. AS already stated
in the School Boards Report for 1885, the
hope entertained by the Board when the new
School Ordinance was put In operatlonm 1854,
that the private school existing III the district
of the closed school namely the Roman Cath
olic School at Orange Grove, would make a
public school unnecessary there, has not
been realised. 1t was, therefore, necessary
again to provide the district with a public
school, partly in order to give the children
living in the district the same opportunity Of
receiving instruction as is enjoyed by other
children on the island, and partly to put the
School Board in O. position to apply IN the
case of the most irregular children at the prl-
vate school the compulsory measures provided
by 81 of the School Ordinance.
The school was opened on the Ord OF May,
with the former assistant at Diamond School,
TIL. Williams, as teacher. 1t has had, quite
down to the close of the year, but a small
number o fpupils, neither has it had any great
importance as an indirect means OF influence
ing the attendance at Orange Grove School.
This may, however, essentially be ascrlDed
to an agitation directed against the school,
with the cessation of which the obstacles pre-
venting the school from fulfilling Its twotold
purpose are now probably removed.
Some changes in the staff of the permanent
~ appointed teachers have taken place in the
course of the year. Teacher Briscoe OF Erie
densleld School was discharged from the Both
of June and was succeeded by r. ?. Jacobs,
formerly teacher in st. Vincent. Teacher
Browne of Two Williams School was also dis
charged, from the 30th of November, as his
increasing weakness made it impossible for
him 70 do his work in q satisfactory manner.
